The third edition of Academic Writing for Graduate Students explains understanding the intended audience, the purpose of the paper, and academic genres; includes the use of task-based methodology, analytic group discussion, and genre consciousness-raising; shows how to write summaries and critiques; features Language Focus sections that address linguistic elements as they affect the wider rhetorical objectives; and helps students position themselves as junior scholars in their academic communities. Among the many changes in the third edition: newer, longer, and more authentic texts and example; greater discipline variety in texts (added texts from hard sciences and engineering); more in-depth treatment of research articles; greater emphasis on vocabulary issues; revised flow-of-ideas section; additional tasks that require students to do their own research; more corpus-informed content; binding that allows the book to lay flat when open. The Commentary (teacher’s notes and key) has also been revised expanded.
